I've heard one suggestion of having top soil brought in. How pricey would that be? Any other suggestions? Thanks Geez - on old farm land - there has to be some decent top soil pretty close by. yep. it was not hauled all that far away just after it was scraped off and loaded on trucks. see, later after the newcomer decides how they'd like to have a lawn the same original top soil can be sold back to them. seems it's really all about maximum profits and profitability. Its easier for mass building of homes to scrape the land of topsoil. You can't pour a concrete slab on wishwashy soil. More difficult for heavy trucks to move in that soil, especially concrete trucks. It is odd the builder didn't just put the topsoil back when the house was completed. Guess it was the minor cost in doing that. yep. telling from that point of view works every time. seems it's really all about maximum profits and profitability. |
